He frowned and turned away

An jaahu alaAAma

An Jā'ahu Al-'A`má

when the blind man approached him

Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

Wa Mā Yudrīka La`allahu Yazzakká

And how do you know, maybe he would purify himself

Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

Aw Yadhakkaru Fatanfa`ahu Adh-Dhikrá

or take admonition, and the admonition would benefit him

Amma mani istaghna

Ammā Mani Astaghná

But as for someone who is wealthy

Faanta lahu tasadda

Fa'anta Lahu Taşaddá

you attend to him

Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

Wa Mā `Alayka 'Allā Yazzakká

though you are not liable if he does not purify himself

Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

Wa 'Ammā Man Jā'aka Yas`á

But as for someone who comes hurrying to you

Wahuwa yakhsha

Wa Huwa Yakhshá

while he fears [Allah]

Faanta AAanhu talahha

Fa'anta `Anhu Talahhá

you are neglectful of him

Kalla innaha tathkiratun

No indeed! These [verses of the Quran ] are a reminder

Faman shaa thakarahu

—so let anyone who wishes remember—

Fee suhufin mukarramatin

Fī Şuĥufin Mukarramahin

in honoured scriptures

MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

Marfū`atin Muţahharahin

exalted and purified

Bi'aydī Safarahin

in the hands of envoys

Kiramin bararatin

Kirāmin Bararahin

noble and pious

Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

Qutila Al-'Insānu Mā 'Akfarahu

Perish man! How ungrateful is he

Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

Min 'Ayyi Shay'in Khalaqahu

From what did He create him

Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

Min Nuţfatin Khalaqahu Faqaddarahu

He created him from a drop of [seminal] fluid; then proportioned him

Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

Thumma As-Sabīla Yassarahu

Then He made the way easy for him

Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

Thumma 'Amātahu Fa'aqbarahu

then He made him die and buried him

Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

Thumma 'Idhā Shā'a 'Ansharahu

and then, when He wished, resurrected him

Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

Kallā Lammā Yaqđi Mā 'Amarahu

No indeed! He has not yet carried out what He has commanded him

Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

Falyanžuri Al-'Insānu 'Ilá Ţa`āmihi

Let man consider his food

Anna sababna almaa sabban

Annā Şababnā Al-Mā'a Şabbāan

We pour down plenteous water [from the sky]

Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

Thumma Shaqaqnā Al-'Arđa Shaqqāan

then We split the earth making fissures in it

Faanbatna feeha habban

Fa'anbatnā Fīhā Ĥabbāan

and make the grain grow in it

WaAAinaban waqadban

Wa `Inabāan Wa Qađbāan

as well as vines and vegetables

Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

Wa Zaytūnāan Wa Nakhlāan

olives and date palms

Wahadaiqa ghulban

Wa Ĥadā'iqa Ghulbāan

and densely-planted gardens

Wafakihatan waabban

Wa Fākihatan Wa 'Abbāan

fruits and pastures

MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

Matā`āan Lakum Wa Li'an`āmikum

as a sustenance for you and your livestock

Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

Fa'idhā Jā'ati Aş-Şākhkhahu

So when the deafening Cry comes—

Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

Yawma Yafirru Al-Mar'u Min 'Akhīhi

the day when a man will evade his brother

Waommihi waabeehi

Wa 'Ummihi Wa 'Abīhi

his mother and his father

Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

Wa Şāĥibatihi Wa Banīhi

his spouse and his sons—

Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

Likulli Amri'in Minhum Yawma'idhin Sha'nun Yughnīhi

each of them will have a task to keep him preoccupied on that day

Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

Wujūhun Yawma'idhin Musfirahun

Some faces will be bright on that day

Dahikatun mustabshiratun

Đāĥikatun Mustabshirahun

laughing and joyous

Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

Wa Wujūhun Yawma'idhin `Alayhā Ghabarahun

and some faces on that day will be covered with dust

Tarhaquha qataratun

Tarhaquhā Qatarahun

overcast with gloom

Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu

Ūlā'ika Humu Al-Kafaratu Al-Fajarahu

It is they who are the faithless, the vicious
